Chunk Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 After seeing a few concept pictures with the Scouts engaged in combat with a carbine & sniper rifle. I wanted a rifle for non cannon troops & self photographs. I purchased a Hyperfirm DLT-19, but this did not feel right, too long & bulky. To me it didn't fit the costume. As the scouts are an advanced infantry unit who are lightly armored & constantly on the go. I thought a carbine would be better suited to the Imperial Scout Trooper. So I modified a Clone Blaster with Nerf collapsable stock, & added some pvc pipe & sprinkler parts to the scope. I'll add the scope lenses & few more greeblies tomorrow. I will also fill in all the screw holes with bondo. Not sure yet, but mite add a bipod to the underside of the barrel. I kept the original scope & magazine because they make sounds when removed or reattached. The blaster also makes original Star Wars blaster sounds when the trigger is pulled. I picked up the clone customizable blaster few years ago at Target for $9.00, & the pvc & was under $3.00. The greeblies I got from my garrage, I save all neat little pieces to use in future projects. Will paint & weather later on in the week. Will post completed pics......

Chunk Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Spent the day finishing up my carbine. I filled in the holes with bondo, added windage/elevation knobs, & made the lenses out of plexiglass & a 7Up bottle. And sanded the whole thing. If it's warm tomorrow I'll paint & weather it.

Chunk Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks Heidi, Really love modifing blasters. My next project is a wookie bowcaster. I was able to find the same model Horton Safari Crossbow used in the original Star Wars. Just need to figure out the front sights & it will all come togeher.

Griffin-X Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This should make for a fine carbine blaster. Great start so far! I'm like you and love a good weapons mod. Here's my modified Nerf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Jim, Have you seen the movie "Hunter Prey"? they took off the shelf Nerf guns & repainted. Couple added scopes. One of the bounty hunters is wearing a TK chest plate & shoulder bell. The Centurion's seem to be wearing mod'd Mando helmets. Check it out & let me know what else you see in there.
